4B 2.1.1.E :E. #5: Out-of-Scope Assets
4B 2.1.1.E(1) ::(1) Assets that cannot process, store, or transmit CUI

Task 2. Given a scenario, analyze the CMMC Assessment Scope based on the predetermined CUI categories within the CMMC Level 2 Assessment Scoping Guide.

1. CMMC assessment asset categories (In-scope)
